Ohhh… Oldboy. Great movie. But will I watch it again? NO! It’s beyond disturbing.

How about The Host?

Oh, I love The Host (and I absolutely adore the cast). I thought of including it in this list but decided in the end to go for little-known Conduct Zero (which I love for its awesome chemistry between Ryu Seung-beom and Gong Hyo-jin).

One of the things I hope to do in this blog is highlight the films and dramas that don’t get talked about very much. So Conduct Zero won over blockbuster The Host. ^^

Old Boy? That’s how I get to know this thespian actor & sexiest man on earth…YJT! It’s such a gory and pyschologically disturbing movie that after I watched it, I crumpled the dvd in the trash can, seriously…
I’m all for romatic movies/dramas but recently I like to take my watching to the next level so I decided to venture into other genre thus recently I took the courage to watch BSL and the Chaser and tomorrow will be watching The Host which I have putting off for the past two years. The next pick will be My Dear Enemy which I heard is a very charming movie. I’m so glad HJW is collaborating with JDY again as I love him in Lovers in Prague, such a cute & protective bodyguard! That’s it for prattling

Hi Janie

I can’t throw my Oldboy DVD in the trash, alas. It’s the special or limited edition set. ^^ I found the movie so disturbing I did not even watch the bonus features.

I LOVE My Dear Enemy. It’s exactly my type of movie and I can watch it over and over. Ah, Ha Jung-woo! *swoons*

Hi glen

Oops, sorry I can’t help you. I don’t download movies so have no idea where to find links. Maybe someone else reading this will be able to give you a lead.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Thundie,

I remembered reading somewhere in this blog where you mentioned Harmonium in my Memory. I have watched it twice last year ‘cos it such a sweet movie. Now I have this important question to ask which has been bugging me.

[SPOILER]

See I don’t think the teacher and student end up marrying each other but others think otherwise. Based on the credit at the end of the movie, there were a few wedding photos and family pictures; yes the bride resembled JDY but I don’t think it’s the student. Aish, not sure if I am reading into it too much… see in the beginning of the show, we knew the student, now married, picked up the LP and played it and there we learned of her special memory about her first crush on Mr. Kang; Further based on the title of the movie it is just her “memory” and the “dream” didn’t get fulfilled so I don’t think they end up living happily ever after together ;p Unless, Mr. Kang married her but because he is much older so he died first ;p So my question is did Mr. Kang married student Yun Hong-yeon or not? I need your piece of mind for my peace of mind

Hi Janie

Good question about Harmonium in My Memory. Are you tempting me to do a rewatch? ^^

[ENDING SPOILER]

Hmm, I always thought they did get married. Which is why the whole story is so sweet, because their relationship seemed so one-sided at first. She was so smitten and so was he, except his feelings weren’t for her but someone else.

But I may be wrong. I guess a rewatch is necessary? ^^

Thanks, Thundie for your response, guess I am reading into it too much ;p even that rubie-hunnie disagreed with me; ya lor, why spoil the sweet movie… o kay, they indeed have lived happily ever after, now my heart is at ease (p.s. my dvd came with a korean commentary of each scene from beginning to end of credit; I have been bugging my korean chingu but to no avail to watch the commentary so I could understand what the director said at the ending of the credit.)

LOL. Thundie, love your news updates both the drama’s and movie’s category. Have you watch Chae SW movie’s entitle Jail Braker? How’s about it? So you have watch An Affair? Whoa, that movie was too steamy and I skipped part of it still I can understand the subtle meaning and the ending. Just don’t do it, baby. Don’t do it. Break off the marriage and be with the man you love OR stay devoted to the one you have promise/choose with a sacred vow and enhance the love and passion in your marriage.^^

OR don’t married at all.Hehe.
